I assume "High Stack" refers to a fairly tall chimney pipe?  If so, me too and that's good to know about the draft for the fire to keep it clean, thanks!

Natural draft would need a tall stack to get enough airflow. Forced air draft would not. Just an observation.

From my observations here, the wind doesn’t so much cause the fire to burn hotter as it shows the lack of proper insulation or weather stripping on the structure being heated, ergo said structure takes more BTU’s to stay at the desired temp.

Couldn't agree more.  I have however noticed since I put a structure around my wood stove it is more efficient not having the wind blowing on it.
